Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for closing and/or opening a container fitted with a lock.
  • container is understood to mean a transport container, such as a standard sea container, for example, or the loading space of a lorry.
  • a method is generally known.
  • the lock that locks the loading doors of the container on the outside is thereby locked and opened with a key in order to protect the, often valuable, contents of the container.
  • the key can travel along with the container under trust of the carrier or be sent separately from the loading location to the unloading location.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a simple, effective, efficient and reliable method for closing and/or opening a container which reduces the risk of theft of goods.
  • a code for example an opening code, is transmitted to the lock via telecommunication means. This it possible to open the container from a central location by remote control.
  • the lock comprises memory means, wherein the container is locked at a loading location by carrying out the following steps: transmitting an identification tr O ⁇ -3 ri rr TJ ⁇ - CO Hi ⁇ - TJ -S H CO ⁇ - ⁇ r ⁇ rj ⁇ &. 0 SD ⁇ ⁇ 0 3 co rt C rt 3 rt ⁇ ⁇
  • container is limited with this kind of transport, unlike transport by lorry, for example.
  • the transceiver comprises electrical contacts, preferably on the outside of the container, which can be connected to the lock.
  • the lock is located inside the container, on the inner side of the loading doors, so that it is very difficult to break open with a jemmy of with other tools.
  • the lock is closed and opened electrically, whereby the lock is fed from a battery that is present in side the container, and possibly by an external power supply in the case that the battery is empty or fails to work.
  • the transceiver furthermore comprises a GPS positioning device, wherein the position of the transceiver is preferably compared with the position of the predetermined unloading location before the central verification device transmits the opening code. In this manner a stolen container is prevented from being opened at a location other than the delivery address .
  • the identification code of the container is compared with a file comprising identification codes of missing containers before the central verification device transmits the opening code.
  • the missing containers can be prevented from being opened in a simple manner.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a container including a lock, a transceiver and a central verification device which are clearly arranged for being used with the method according to the invention.
  • the figure shows a container 11, which is intended for being transported by ship.
  • Container 11 has a unique identification code, which is placed on the wall of the container, for example.
  • Container 11 includes an internal lock, which is capable of locking the loading doors 12, 13. Opening and closing of the lock can only be done electrically from inside, to that end a battery is present in the container.
  • the lock furthermore includes memory means, in which various codes can be stored, among which the identification code of the container 11.
  • the memory means are connected to an electric contact 14, which is present in the wall on the outside of the container.
  • Transceiver 15 which is preferably a satellite transceiver, so that it can be used all over the world.
  • Transceiver 15 includes electric contacts 16, which can be plugged into the contact 14 of container 11.
  • the unique transceiver 15 is arranged in such a manner that it can only co-operate with a specific container 11 having a specific identification code.
  • Transceiver 15 furthermore comprises a GPS (Global Positioning System) device, which is known per se, which is capable of determining the coordinates of the position on earth and of transmitting said coordinates to the central verification device 17.
  • GPS Global Positioning System
  • the central verification device 17 comprises a central processor unit, central memory means and a central transceiver, which is capable of communication with transceiver 15.
  • Transceiver 15 is plugged into contact 14 and the identification code is read from the memory means of the lock and transmitted to the central verification device 17 (arrow 1) .
  • the central verification device 17 transmits a closing code to the memory means in the lock (arrow 2) via transceiver 15. Following that, the lock is closed electrically, and confirmation thereof is transmitted to the central verification device 17 (arrow 3) .
  • Transceiver 15 is unplugged from contact 14 and despatched to the unloading location of the container 11 by courier service (arrow 4) .
  • Container 11 is likewise transported to the unloading location, in this case by ship (arrow 5) .
  • the container 11 and the transceiver 15 at the unloading location are illustrated in dotted lines.
  • transceiver 15 In order to open container 11, transceiver 15 is plugged into contact 14 again at the unloading location, after which the identification code of container 11 is transmitted to the central verification device 17 in a similar manner as upon closing of the container (arrow 6) .
  • the central verification device verifies whether container 11 is listed as missing and whether the GPS coordinates of transceiver 15 correspond to those of the stated unloading location. If the result of both verifications is positive, the central verification device 17 transmits the opening code, which may for example be identical to the previously transmitted closing code, to the lock (arrow 7) .
  • a specific arithmetic or cryptographic connection may exist between each pair of closing and opening codes, for example. In the lock, the opening code is compared with the closing code, and if the two match, the lock will be automatically opened.
  • the lock will remain closed and consequently the container 11 cannot be opened.
  • confirmation thereof is transmitted to the central verification device 17 (arrow 8) , after which the opening code and the closing code can be erased from the memory.
  • New codes are used for a next closing and opening cycle, which codes may be determined at random by the central verification device 17, for example, in order to prevent fraud as much as possible.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fermeture et d'ouverture successives d'un conteneur équipé d'un verrou. Ledit verrou comprend un système de mémorisation. Ledit conteneur est verrouillé au niveau d'un point de chargement, au moyen des étapes suivantes : transmission d'un code d'identification du conteneur à un dispositif de contrôle central, par l'intermédiaire d'un système de communication, transmission d'un code de fermeture au système de mémorisation du verrou, par l'intermédiaire du système de communication, par ledit dispositif de contrôle central, puis fermeture du verrou. Le conteneur est ouvert au niveau d'un point de décharge, au moyen des étapes suivantes : transmission d'un code d'identification du conteneur audit dispositif de contrôle central, par l'intermédiaire dudit système de communication, transmission d'un code d'ouverture au système de mémorisation du verrou, par l'intermédiaire du système de communication, par ledit dispositif de contrôle central, comparaison du code d'ouverture avec le code de fermeture, puis ouverture du verrou.
